Mecha: Return of the Pioneers

Chapter 1193 Price, Crime, and Long-cherished Wish
The Earth Federation Army representatives evacuated.

According to the order from the Earth Federation Congress, they will send a fleet to take over the core of the legion network of this asteroid - the Supreme, and will try and execute the Supreme in the near future.

This is the condition proposed by the Supreme Being, and it is also the most urgent issue facing the Earth Federation Parliament.

Planetary Defense Division.

This new department, which has the highest authority and can almost do whatever it wants, is bound to attract dissatisfaction from all walks of life.

The collapse of A-LAWS has long caused all sectors of human society to have some distrust in the decisions of the Earth Federation Parliament. Therefore, how to enable the Planetary Defense Countermeasures Department to successfully overcome the hurdle of its early establishment has become the Earth Federation Parliament's top priority.

Fortunately, when the Supreme Being took the initiative to propose this condition, the Earth Federation Parliament immediately understood the Supreme Being's intention, and also knew that this would be an opportunity for all sectors of human society to smoothly take over the Planetary Defense Countermeasures Department.

of course.

Everything has a price.

Although the Gundam sent by Celestial Being successfully grasped the key to victory for mankind on the battlefield, it is undeniable that the Legion still retains the strength to fight, and this power may even lead human society into an abyss of no return.

As a speaker who has been in politics for decades, he naturally understands the price that the Earth Federation Parliament will have to pay in this deal.

"Louise Halevi."

The Speaker thought of the last descendant of the Halevi family.

However, judging from the news from the Supreme Being, the other party still seemed to be hesitating whether to use Louise Halevi as the reward for this transaction.

The Speaker stood up, walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, raised his head and looked at the silver track across the sky - the orbital ring of the solar power generation system.

"It seems that the Most High still has some matters to deal with and needs to make some decisions."

However, these decisions have nothing to do with the overall situation. Maybe they are just the wavering thoughts in a young girl’s heart?

"Let's get out of here first!"

After Iolia made an agreement with the Most High to discuss the matter in detail later, he signaled to He Ming and led everyone to temporarily leave this huge room that housed 330,000 brains and made people feel palpitations all the time, leaving the space for the young boy and girl who were standing on the platform in front, in silence.

After the gate fell, separating the celestial beings from the young boy and girl, Aiolia looked at He Ming.

"That boy is Shaci Crossrod? That man's younger brother?"

As one of those with the highest authority in VEDA, Iolia naturally knew Shaci's identity.

"Yes. Just now, VEDA has sent Shaci's message to the angels."

He Ming nodded and told him the next arrangements.

"Yeah. But maybe it will be hard for this young couple next."

Aeolia seemed to have seen through something.

"You mean?"

He Ming's expression changed slightly, as if he had noticed something.

The conditions proposed by the Most High were beyond everyone's expectations, but they were reasonable.

However, the reason that allowed the Supreme to make such a choice is probably not just the so-called simulation results and the fact that He Ming defeated Livonz Almark, who was fused with the Ascended One.

"Wait. An Ascendant?!"

Suddenly, He Ming realized something that everyone had overlooked.

The Ascender is not as simple as the one in plain sight.

The Supreme was able to obtain the existence of the two variables, Levonz Almark and the Transformer, when Levonz Almark sent the clone's brain to the Legion network to become a computing node. It must not be used for such a simple purpose as simulation calculation.

Noticing the change in He Ming's expression, Iolia nodded slowly.

Apparently, Aeolia already knew the true purpose of the Most High.

"Doctor. Who are you?"

"After I woke up for the second time, I made some calculations based on the data collected by VEDA, and I vaguely guessed the purpose of the Supreme Being."

Iolia's expression was very solemn.

"Three hundred and thirty thousand variables."

Aeolia sighed.

"In fact, among such a huge and terrifying number of variables, the Supreme Being himself is the real variable."

"If the Legion had performed as it did in the great war several years ago, the Supreme might not exist now. And we would not be standing here, making a deal with the Supreme." Aeolia pointed his finger at the gate behind.

"I don't know what exactly caused the Supreme to break free from the Legion's program control and become a personality program with autonomous authority that can simulate the future of the Earth. But now it seems that apart from the physical differences, the behavior of the Supreme is probably more like that of a human, an executioner with many contradictions and blood on his hands."

Inside the gate, the boy and girl were still standing there, looking at the area ahead covered by yellow lights.

"Louise Halevi."

The voice of the Most High slowly echoed in the space.

"Now, it's time for you to make a decision."

Louise nodded and spoke.

"I understand."

Saci, who had never had the chance to talk to Louise, stepped forward.

"Wait a minute! Louise. Now that the Legion has reached an agreement with the Earth Federation Congress, you don't need to pay anything for the Legion anymore."

Louise closed her eyes and shook her head.

"No. I am not contributing anything to the Legion. Rather, I am a member of the Legion. Being promoted is my mission and my destiny."

"Ascendant?"

Shaci was stunned and quickly denied it.

"No! Wasn't that damn Ascender destroyed by Celestial Being's Gundam? How could you still be bound by that damn Ascender!"

Louise turned around, opened her eyes, looked at Shaci, and spoke word by word.

"That is indeed an Ascender. But, it is not the only Ascender. Livonz Almark did capture our Ascender, but because of this, we were able to obtain more data and perfect the Ascender."

As soon as Louise finished speaking, a roar suddenly came from the depths of the room.

As countless lights suddenly dimmed, pieces of steel plates completely sealed off the pools containing the brains, leaving only a path leading to the depths of the room.

At the end of the road, a huge figure with a slender body and slender limbs, but exuding a sense of power, was slowly rising.

"That is my Ascendant. Sachi."

Louise faced Shaci and slowly backed away.

Shaci subconsciously reached out and tried to catch Louise, but Louise dodged him.

"Louise! Why do you want to continue? The Legion has already reached an agreement with the Earth Federation Parliament!"

"No! It was only the Most High who reached the agreement. Not the Ascended Ones."

At this moment, the voice of the Most High interrupted their conversation.

"Louise Halevi. Our last descendant, if you have any reservations, then we can tell you the truth. From the beginning to the end, all units of the legion have never obeyed your orders."

"The destruction of that city was a direct order from us, and we used it to make you decide to become an Ascended One."

"what?!"

Shaci was startled, and a hint of surprise seemed to appear on his face.

If that were the case, Louise would be merely a victim of deception, rather than the Legion being the perpetrator.

But Louise smiled sadly.

"I know! Grandfather. I know. But that doesn't mean I can stay out of it. As a member of Halevi, I can't deceive myself and return to human society as a deceived person and live without shame."

"Grandfather. Just like the crimes you committed, no matter how beautiful and great the excuses are, they cannot turn these crimes into beautiful lies, nor can they bring back the people who died in these crimes."

Louise looked at Shaci and smiled charmingly, just like when they first met.

"So, as a member of the Halevi and a member of the Legion, I can't stay out of it, nor can I live shamelessly as a deceived person. What I, Louise Halevi, can do is to shoulder all of this, and then complete the plan made by my grandfather, no, the Supreme Being, this super-collective mind."

"Then please step forward! Louise Halevi. This will be our last wish!"

"This has nothing to do with victory or defeat, or life or death. This is the prayer of 330,000 dead people as they face their end. It is also the crime they have committed."

"The consequences of all this will be borne by you, Louise Halevi."

"Climb on the Ascendant, merge with it, and head to Jupiter to fulfill our last wish!"
